Where next for Cassano?

Antonio Cassano is not a happy man at Roma of late, unhappy with his coach, the Roma directors, even some of his team mates and what is looking more and more likely is that Cassano will be on the move come the summer.

But where to?

Well England seems out of the equation; apparently we have the wrong sort of weather, the wet sort. Real Madrid is of course mentioned and Spain is certainly sunnier than England, what with most of the rain remaining on the plain and what have you.

Then there could be the allure of Juventus, with his old Coach and indeed self professed father figure currently in charge.

Anyway to the interview:

"If Roma come knocking on my door I don't know if I'll open it," explained Cassano to Sky Italia. "They've acted a little late.

"I was expecting a call before last summer's European Championship, but they didn’t, because they didn't expect me to be called-up by the national side or play.

"It was easier doing it after this, but in either case they didn't do it anyway."

"I don't like England as much because it rains a lot. Spain would be better. Real Madrid are everyone's dream, and I don't hide that is mine too," he concluded.

So we now no three things about Cassano, 1st, he is extremely talented. 2nd he is as likely to throw a tantrum as the average 2 year old and 3rd he doesn’t like getting wet.

But unless Juventus do come in, or Real Madrid choose to make him this summers buy, my personal money would be on Chelsea, to lure him, with lots of cash and a large umbrella.
